No doubt those are easy to fix. My point was he’s been in a NHL GM role for 10 years now and still thought thats what this team needed…
I know he gave the lip service of “it was a failure” but never did a damn thing all season to even try to fix it besides grab waiver guys… Kinda shocking to me more people aren’t really hoping for a GM to be hired I guess

I would have preferred Tulsky as GM instead of Dubas at the time. I don't see him handing the keys to anyone.

I got a paragraph into but from what I saw he grew too quick and is a big giant wussy.

LOL.... essentially, yes. 6'5" 185. Had some injury problems.

Superhenderson had a hack for getting around their paywall. Can't remember what it was. It's a good read. Seems like there's hope he still might develop. He apparently skates well with good awareness. Doesn't sound like he'll be able to get a spot next year.

Yeah seemed like a good article. I’m guessing they think he’s too weak to play in the A? Crazy he was growing so fast he had too much pain to workout. I think if he’s capable of making it, he’s gonna be on a dumo timeline.

Hopefully Accairi gets healthy to get this steaming pile Poulin back to the AHL.

When neither team is going to make the playoffs, there should be a 30s time limit on reviews. Who cares if it's a goal? Just get on with it.

He has 12 goals? Actually pretty decent. Above my expectations of what he’d provide, anyways.

If his head and hands can catch up to his feet a bit he could get 20.

I had him at 12-15 preseason, but he's been helped by more top 6 time then I expected him to get. He's gotten similar treatment to Rust and Sheary early in their careers lengthening the line-up while not really putting up top 6 numbers.

Great game to be one of Grinder's whipping boys!

Agree on all points. I feel like a lot of us even before he was hired liked him as POHO but not for GM.

I think hiring an actual GM should be the first move this offseason

Drew is the man. He just solidified his 1LW status for next season.

Top six:

Drew/Sid/Rust
Bunting/Geno/Rakell

No need to get a big splash free agent. Trade Smith if you can. Save some money for in season moves.

Edit: All kidding aside.

Hopefully he's going to be the new era's Bryan Rust.

Speedy, forechecking winger, gets tons of chances, somehow blossoms into a 40-50 point guy.
